Evander I would say is quite a masculine, strong name, when you think of it. Leave out the translation, origin, and pronunciation. Plainly look at the spelling! The spelling alone is a marvel of its own.I once wrote a story that contained a character by the name of 'Evander'. A fabulous bearer of the name, one whom would do it justice.

GREAT NAME! Enough time has passed to not think of the Mike Tyson/Evander Holyfield incident. It is a very handsome and strong name!

Evander Holyfield is a heavyweight boxer. Mike Tyson once got thrown out of a match for biting Holyfield's ear twice, and he defeated Riddick Bowe in the notorious "Fan Man" match, where James Miller parachuted into the match.

Handsome name, with roots in history, appealing nicknames Evan/Van/Vander, so on, or great enough on its own. Wonderful meaning- who doesn't want their son to grow up and become a "good man"? Currently my favorite choice for a future son.

I saw this name and fell in love with it right away. It's amazing. I like it as a middle name for Harlow (Harlow Evander).
